Guest jevdroid Posted July 20, 2012 Report Share Posted July 20, 2012 (edited) My VEGA unfortunately suffers from a broken screen. It still works fine though. I was thinking to mount it behind my flatscreen TV and hook it up through the HDMI connection. I just need a way to control it though. Now, I also have an old HTC hero that I can use to control the vega with - all that is needed is software to connect the two. I tried using "tablet remote", but that crashes all the time. There are numerous apps to control a google TV, but those won't talk to my tablet running VegaCream. So, anyone have the tip for this?

Guest QLF Posted July 22, 2012 Report Share Posted July 22, 2012 Not fancy a USB mouse / keyboard? Or wireless version with USB BT dongle? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jevdroid Posted July 23, 2012 Report Share Posted July 23, 2012 (edited) XBMC for Android and XBMC remote ? XBMC for android has not been released yet and won't support TEGRA2 according to the XBMC wiki. Further more, XBMC is a media machine, it won't provide access to other apps (youtube, twitter, imdb, mail, facebook, whatever...). Not fancy a USB mouse / keyboard? Or wireless version with USB BT dongle? USB requires wires (not wanted) and interaction to switch it to host if I'm not mistaken - or is there a method to switch it to host at boottime? Anyway, the vega (or actually, a PoV mobii) has a working bluetooth built-in, that's what I want to use anyway. VegaCream prolly doesn't have the drivers for a bluetooth mouse I assume. My Hero can serve as a bluetooth mouse, but so far I have not been able to get it to work with the tablet.

Guest jevdroid Posted July 23, 2012 Report Share Posted July 23, 2012 Darned. Tried a bluetooth peripheral, but VegaCream doesn't budge. It resets when I switch the BT on or off while wifi enabled and it won't find any remote. Something to look into before continuing I'm afraid...

Guest wasps Posted July 23, 2012 Report Share Posted July 23, 2012 You can install vnc server on the tablet, and use vnc client on your phone to control it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest danb79 Posted July 24, 2012 Report Share Posted July 24, 2012 this unit comes with its own dongle so the vega should just see it as a usb kb\mouse this is what happens when i plug in my cheep lidl kb\mouse! have you seen these? might help http://www.ebay.co.u...0#ht_852wt_1396 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jevdroid Posted July 25, 2012 Report Share Posted July 25, 2012 Is there a VNC server that doesn't (try to) send the screen but instead just accepts input equipment? @dan: yeah, seen them, but I'm trying to keep it budget neutral, otherwise I might as well get me one of those pocket Android machines and be done with it.
